How Is Your Class Structured?

The class is structured as a weekly club, with each session lasting 45 minutes. Each session is standalone, meaning students can join at any time without feeling left behind. However, there is a benefit to attending regularly, as students can build on what they’ve learned from previous weeks.

The class will start with a brief introduction and review of the day’s topic, followed by a hands-on activity or exercise. The session will wrap up with a group discussion, where students can share their experiences and ask questions.

My teaching style is supportive, encouraging, and adaptable to the needs of each student. I believe in creating a positive and inclusive learning environment where every child feels confident to participate and explore new ideas. I strive to make each lesson relevant to real-life experiences, helping students see the value of the skills they are learning.
